Conceal Carry Informational Meetings.

All over Illinois there are CCL informational meetings being held to help Illinois residents in better understanding the CCL Law and how it works. So far there are aprox. 40,000 Conceal Carry License holders and another 35,000 that have applications submitted. The ISP is issuing over 1000 CCL Licenses a day and is making the State of Illinois $150.00 per license. According to the ISP, within 3-4 years, there will be over 1 Million CCL License holders in Illinois. It is the fastest growing trend in Illinois and one that will forever change the way we look at our gun-rights and ability to defend ourselves and our families. I have attended the meeting in Gurnee, by Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran and SA Mike Nerheim. It was a filled to capacity meeting with many having to miss the meeting for lack of room to accommodate the swell of people who showed up. It was a very informative meeting and I would recommend that you show up at least 20 minutes early!
